Correct answer & explanation
✓
Amazon CloudWatch metrics for Global Accelerator
Amazon CloudWatch metrics for Global Accelerator provide endpoint health and performance metrics, such as latency and packet loss, which are essential for monitoring Global Accelerator endpoints. Option B is incorrect because VPC Flow Logs capture IP traffic information but not accelerator-level performance metrics. Option C is incorrect because AWS X-Ray is used for tracing application requests, not network-level metrics. Option D is incorrect because AWS CloudTrail logs API calls for auditing, not performance monitoring.
